"CONVALESCING" (2024)

Convalescing is an 18-minute performance that explores the profound connection between body and earth during a period of convalescence. Using one stick, one body, 5 meters of natural canvas, and 2 buckets, this intuitive performance reflects on my innate reliance on clay (earth) as a medium for healing and physical relief from chronic pain. Through movement and interaction with these raw materials, the piece delves into themes of self-soothing and self-care, offering a contemplative examination of how we nurture ourselves in times of physical and emotional recovery. Heal Me invites viewers to consider the deep interdependence between humanity and the natural world in the process of healing.
